That's irrelevant and Tony did not speak of an advantage for a certain
opponent but of a disadvantage for _both_ opponents in a match with
a book that contains a lot of bad+long lines.
Changin' colours doesnt help to make the book and the situation
better.
By that way you can almost produce even results between opponents,
which differ a lot in strength...
